Title: flash tweaks, not working on T3i
Post by: MarkMcCombs on September 03, 2017, 05:28:13 PM
Hi All - newb to ML and I apologize if I've missed the answer to this somewhere, but I did search a bit.

On Flash Tweaks, it shows the option to fire the flash on ODD numbered exposures, and no flash on evens - BUT my 580ex is firing with ALL exposures, which I don't want.   

Help?

Thanks,

Mark

Does it work with the built-in flash?

Any older build where it used to work? If the oldest nightly doesn't work, try the old v2.3 (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11636).

If none of the old builds work, the only thing I can do is to disable the feature on this model.

Hey MarkMcCombs,

    I'm not sure if this is remotely close to the solution, but do you by any chance have a hot shoe protector and are using the flash separately? I remember on the T3i the flash settings act odd when there is a protector on top, and it's possible it could be affecting these features. Sorry if this is not close to the right answer, but it's all I have, so I figured I would share. I hope this helps.

nope, no flash protectors (not sure what that is?)

Hey Mark,
